"America's not made for queers!" & other charming neocon rants

[Bluebear]

And these 50 glorious states can hold together as a nation?....




Lisa Glass and five-year-old daughter Reya, from Talent, are shoved back by police in riot gear following the arrest of Glass’s boyfriend Thursday in Jacksonville

...At about 8 p.m. law enforcement tried to move the protesters away from the Inn. Oregon State Police spokesman Kurt Barttel said the crowd was asked to move to a safer area where they could congregate, to preserve the fluidity of the president’s motorcade.


....“We were just standing in front of the bank — just standing there — when riot police came up Third Avenue and started moving us. They sprayed pepper spray, while I was holding my 16-month-old child in my arms,” said Kelly Larson, with her son Ty. Michael Moss lifted his shirt to show the welts on his lower back from being shot with rubber bullets.

“I was covering an old man who fell down, and they shot me in the back,” Moss said.


....Maddox said, “It is just not moral the things they (Kerry supporters) are saying. They need to listen to both sides.” Sixteen year old Zack Burgdorf, dressed in military fatigues, shouted, “If you’re gay — go back to Ashland. America’s not made for queers.” “Especially not Jacksonville,” chimed Maddox.

1. Charming.

2. That quote kinda made me take a deep breath, too.

Even though I hear that kind of sh*t all the time, living in SW Ohio, especially from my FReeperish in-laws and other pinheads who could audition for the Dachau Boys' Choir. Sickening, isn't it?

"America's not made for mouth-breathing morons" -- how's that? Made me feel marginally better to type that, though I'm sure nobody will ever say anything like it to Zack. I'm sure he'll be coddled and encouraged in his hatred until it blooms in a date rape or a gay-bashing somewhere a few years down the line.

3. And the date rape or gaybashing will be "just blowing off steam".

After all, Rush said that's what soldiers do to pass the time.

4. Or, as they call the stuff the Naked Emperor did:

"youthful indiscretions"

[Bluebear]

11. Perzactly.

5. Once again the Repugnicans show their true colors: hateful, intolerant,

unAmerican, unChristian, hypocritical asshole selves.
I am tired of being nice. I am tired of being decent. I am tired of standing up for real values and real decency and real honesty and real morality and getting beaten down by these fuckers.
They have got to be taken down once and for all - give me back my country, you treasonous fucks...go live with the little imbecile on a little island somewhere in the middle of nowhere and continue with your fallen-down-the-rabbit-hole lives, where up is down, wrong is right, black is white, and there is never, never, never any grey...it's either/or, this or that. Nobody has to think...just blindly follow Dim Son, leading you strongly and with great conviction, like lemmings right over a cliff.

6. Jesus fucking christ

Sigh why are people so hateful.

7. Vile...

...and so I assume this asshole Maddox will soon converge on the Naval Observatory to insist that Cheney and his family go "back to Ashland", right?

8. Bush protesters and John Kerry supporters

When the confusion started, Bush protesters and John Kerry supporters alike were standing in front of the inn at 175 E. California St., chanting “Four more years!” to which Kerry supporters responded “Three more weeks!

Did they mean to say that?

[Cat Atomic]

9. Nope! Nothing like Hitler! Stop making that silly comparison!

I said stop it! Lalalalala! Can't hear you!

[Bluebear]

14. You got it CA

[w13rd0]

10. BTW, 16 years old...

...dressed in military fatigues, BUT NOT IN THE MILITARY. I want to see that spineless fucks papers. Is he signed up yet? He should be running trucks to supply Halliburton contractors with fuel. He's old enough to drive, SEND HIM.

[Bluebear]

12. Oh how I agree with you!

These neokids are men enough to shout their fascist slogans, let them sign on the dotted line!

[Selwynn]

13. heart-breaking. Especially at 16.

At 16, all you're doing is regurgitating the indoctrination you've been spoon fed.

While I would have never said something like this, there was a time in my growing up when I believed that homosexuality was a sin. If I can change, then there is hope.
